Rikishi speaks his mind about Jey Uso losing the Intercontinental title to Bron Breakker

During his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi gave his thoughts on his son Jey Uso losing the Intercontinental title to Bron Breakker…

“I think it was too soon. If I’m the promoter, I’m only gonna go speak business wise, you know, finally Jey had gotten his flowers with the belt that he so rightfully earned and deserved it. Now we got it on this kid here. He’s well over. Now this character, this Yeet man, is through the roof as far as notoriety. Probably selling the number one hottest merchandise, if not close to OTC, maybe surpassed it. Now you see the different sides of the merchandise. He’s got merchandise with every city he goes to. Here’s a Yeet T-Shirt. for Philadelphia. There’s a Yeet T-shirt for New York. So, you know, from a marketing standpoint, you’re only going to do even more, better, good business if you leave that on this kid. I’m not saying that because he’s my boy. I’m not saying that. I’m speaking as a promoter now, because at the end of the day, this is what it’s about. It’s about numbers. It’s about revenues.”

Rikishi also gave his thoughts on Breakker’s faceoff with Jacob Fatu…

“I’ll tell you one thing. As much heat as that kid, Jacob, is getting for the time being, for me, because I know who Jacob really is, I still feel Jacob has not performed, or given the opportunity, to let him showcase his real skills. When I say this kid is bad, bad, I mean just absolutely talented. The world hasn’t seen that. All you guys saw was snippets, but you can imagine the day, even if he were to put him against, I’m just gonna say Bron Breakker, if they put Jacob against Bron Breakker, I can almost tell you people are gonna turn Jacob babyface. You can just feel the vibes.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
